Ever dreamt of travelling the world? Follow in the footsteps of the many Irish emigrants we feature in EPIC without stepping a toe out of Ireland in this interactive gaming session, where the floor is the board and you are the games piece!
Nellie Bly – aka Elizabeth Jane Cochran – was an American journalist of Irish descent. Inspired by the tales of Phileas Fogg, she went on to travel around the world in a record breaking 72 days. Now, be inspired by Nellie in this life-size board game! Adapted from an out of print 1890s board game which follows Nellie as as she travels around the world, take on fellow members of the public and beat Bly in record-breaking time! Each roll of the dice presents a new challenge, such as answering a trivia question, performing a comedy piece, or taking on your neighbour in a game of wits or mischief!
